In the Race for Quality Attainment,

                                             We help you stay on the right track.

                  
                    Whether you are involved in  mass production, or provide one-of-a-kind products,

                 reducing your variables is an ongoing battle.  In the race to achieve higher quality,

                 much energy is expended as companies attempt to control variables in the human

                 element, materials, and toll tolerance.  Very often, a simple, cost-effective

                 quality “fix” is over-looked.

                   At Asset Service Group, LLC, we help manufacturing operations run better by

                providing periodic analysis of machine tools.  In an environment of ever-changing

                variables, our inspection and calibration programs ensure greater consistency 

                in equipment tolerances, and overall improved performance.

                   To help you achieve and maintain a leading-edge position in your machine tool

                processes, we offer cost-effective analysis and calibration programs designed

                specifically for your machine.

                                Laser Inspection And Calibration

                  Using a highly accurate Laser Interferometer, your machine can be thoroughly inspected

                to quantify the following conditions and their direct effects on your machine process.

                                             Linear dimensional accuracy

                                             Machine-induced angular error

                                             Static backlash

                                             Guideway and ballscrew alignment

                                             Repeatability

                                             Historical trends, and more

                                                            Here is an example

                         Before Calibration - .005" Error ( +/- .0025" ) Over 118" of Travel

                                    After Calibration -- .00016" of Error ( +/- .00008" )

          Dynamic Performance Analysis Program

                   A Telescopic Ballbar is used in conjunction with diagnostic software to

                evaluate the performance of your machine tool while in the contouring mode.

                This procedure will reveal even more conditions than those uncovered through

                Laser Inspection.

                                               Servo matching/Setup

                                               Dynamic accuracy

                                               Mechanical integrity

                                               Dynamic backlash

                                               Bearing deterioration/failure

                                               Guideway and screw misalignment

                                               Squareness error
